What is the one thing at work you hate more than anything?

Like many others., I'm happy I have a job. I'm happy that it is a well paying job. I'm happy that I will likely have this job till my retirement in a few years.

Like a few others, I am in management. Field level supervisor. I know enough about my enviroment that I can manage effectively. Unfortunately, my enviroment requires I shield my employees from all the crap falling from higher levels and I insulate my handlers from all the crap boiling up from the ranks. This goes on 24/7/52. It infiltrates every moment of my existance and cellphones/email/blackberrys are the hated method of application.

Technology will eventually destroy civilization.
